If you have confidential information and want to reach out to me I’m on signal Sergioolmos.71

"pro-vaccine groups" NYT editors are the fucking enemy

I was at a car wash in Culver City today that was raided twice last weekend by ICE. 25 car wash workers and 1 customer have been kidnapped over the past several days, and the whereabouts of most of them is unknown. I spoke to families of the kidnap victims: prospect.org/justice/2025...

LOL...people are filing flight plans for routes that are NOTAM'd closed. The Houston TRACON is annoyed that it has to keep rejecting them and used a FAA regular update to "reiterate" that the routes are closed and remind people to not use them.

It takes true genius to sit in the discomfort of people thinking you’re an idiot

Update: I had time to look through footage of the horse trampling incident. This guy was actively involved with dispersing the crowd. You can clearly see that he is with the Huntington Beach police department.

HEGSETH: The mission in Los Angeles is about maintaining law and order REED: Excuse me. Law and order is a civil function under the Constitution of the United States

A terrifying escalation:

You know what’s actually newsworthy and deserves a weekly editorial takedown? The unprecedented nature of Elon Musk owning a major communications platform while paying people to vote for Trump and then working in an unofficial official capacity in the White House.

Congress is voting on Trump's request to make foreign aid cuts official TOMORROW. Here's my story for @npr.org on what that means www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Sign of the day…

Step 1: MAGA wolf warriors say their talking points Step 2: MAGA regime media —outlet founded by Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie —covers the “viral moment” Step 3: Repeat, normalize via online crowd, cover on Fox Step 4: Set policy based on “demand” This is modern propaganda.

honestly one of the most encouraging recent developments is the naked opportunism of Governor Gavin Newsom, and I pray that there are copycats www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

📣📣📣 A REMINDER ahead of this weekend's #NoKings protests: I've generated HIGH-RES PDF versions of all ~500 of my pie charts which break out healthcare enrollment across EVERY HOUSE DISTRICT & EVERY STATE. These are perfect for printing for 24"x36" poster boards! acasignups.net/piecharts

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

DOGGETT: Are you sharing any information with DOGE for this omnibus information sharing agreement where they seem to probe into the privacy of every American? BESSENT: We are following all of the laws D: I would appreciate an answer to my question

Congrats again to the well-connected, Obama era, Northeast Democratic elites who told us Bessent was a credible Treasury Secretary because he, too, had the proper academic credentials & Northeast elite connections. If only we could've known that he was so deeply unserious: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Without comment. Keep hammering this.

A U.S. citizen in her ninth month of pregnancy was hospitalized with sharp stomach pains after being arrested — and later released — by ICE agents who accused her of obstructing the arrest of her undocumented husband.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Marines are met with protesters at downtown Federal building in Los Angeles as Mayor Bass’s curfew approaches. ~ @shoton35mm.bsky.social

As faith leaders have a crowd take a knee and pray outside the federal building, DHS officers raise their weapons at priests and National Guard members lineup with riot shields against them tonight in downtown L.A.

We are aware of multiple federal operations impacting farm workers across California today. To all working people in California, remember: we are in this together. Our statement: ufw.org/ufw-statemen... #WeFeedYou

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Credit where credit is due: Newsom is meeting the moment

Greetings! I’m here on Alameda and Commercial in downtown Los Angeles, near Metro Detention Center. An area wide curfew begins in just over an hour that was just announced. Dozens of people are here. A line of LAPD up front. CHP officers stationed in many many other places nearby.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

If Trump actually had a mandate to do what he's doing we wouldn't have nationwide protests and he wouldn't need the military to silence those protesters

If you're not in the streets, it's YOU who should exert some self-discipline and stop posting bullshit.

Trump and Miller's fascist stunt is going to cost taxpayers *at least* $134 million dollars

LAPD officers bull rush protesters and press, hitting them along the way indiscriminately

Put together a defense friendly criminal justice pack for BlueSky newbies, enjoy! go.bsky.app/3kkyoU8

ICE started raiding the hotel they were staying in - interrogating cleaning ladies Good luck housing ICE agents in Los Angeles now

Protesters sitting in front of police chanting peaceful protest

ICE appears to be staying at the Doubletree hotel in Carson. Multiple ICE vehicles parked.

There’s more chaos during your average championship-starved city’s sports championship celebration than there is in LA right now even with this utterly absurd militarized government presence. This administration is an absolute farce.

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov and his fellow propagandists rejoiced about events in California, hoping they mark the beginning of a civil war in the United States they've long been rooting for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWo7...

“We are relieved that David is free and reunited with his family and we are deeply grateful to the hundreds of elected officials, civil rights leaders, labor partners and allies from across the nation who stood in solidarity...” @seiupres.bsky.social, April Verrett's full statement: seiu.co/3ZYw24f

"Were treated like dogs. Theyre making us lay on the floor. Were here to help Waymo" Its ok grandpa. The war ended 40 years ago. Go to sleep
